What The World Needs Now

Lyrics

I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom I've laughed at

I don't know what the world may need
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one

'Cause what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension
'Cause the old one just bores me to death
'Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
But a V8 engine is a good start for me
Think I'll drive to find a place, to be surly

I don't know what the world may want
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser

'Cause what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la
'Cause what the world needs now
is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
And I never grasped your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
And, I don't know what the world may want
But your long, sweet body lying next to mine could certainly raise my spirits

'Cause what the world needs now
Is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
'Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head
